18th April Games

Greetings

I ran a Dark Ages Lion Rampant game for the relatively low turnout last night; the idea was that the Norse and Saxon hosts were trying to hold multiple crossing points over a river ahead of the arrival of the main forces. A right old ding-dong ensued, with the Norse eventually winning but at a grave cost to themselves. I'll keep this in mind for the future . . . .

Next week sees what I call an AGM (on the basis that it happens once a year as a meeting of the membership - 'if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck') albeit in rather different form to earlier meetings. Thus far the issues up for discussion are as follows:

Refund of the unused portion of 2017 subscriptions following our departure from the Hockley Community Centre.

Discussion of a possible club game for the various shows we attend. What form it should take, type of game etc.

Provision of SEEMS badges or polo shirts for members attending shows as a means of reinforcing the club's identity.

Any other business?

I'd like to start by 8.15pm. I can't see any reason why we shouldn't be able to find a corner of the Wayland site to have this meeting, and hopefully we can sort things out quickly.

SEEMS

SEEMS (South East Essex Military Society) is one of the oldest wargames clubs in the country, being founded in the mid sixties, and meets on Wednesday nights from around 7:30 ish until 10 in deepest Hockley, Essex. We wargame most things from 15mm Ancients up to Victorian Science Fiction via World War 1 and 2, most Horse and Musket periods and any type of skirmish game you can shake a dice at! The club prides itself on being prepared to game and try anything - as long someone has the necessary models! SEEMS like a good idea.......

Visitors and new members are most welcome and our venue can be found at Wayland Games.

Please feel free to pop in and say hello - we even have an onsite bar!
